[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Ju Cheol-in] The prosecution has indicted four people, including A (58), the head of the public health center in Haman-gun, Gyeongnam, without detention on charges of recruitment corruption (forgery of official documents).

According to Changwon District Prosecutors' Office on the 7th, A, the head of the public health center, is accused of manipulating documents to hire 20 fixed-term workers without proper procedures by hiring interview absentees at the request of former and current county council members between 2015 and 2018.

The prosecution judged that three other public officials, who were working as health center staff at the time, were involved in the recruitment corruption under A's instructions.

Separately, the prosecution has brought B, who was the secretary to former county governor Ha Seong-sik, to trial on charges of obstruction of official duties by deception.

B is accused of obstructing official duties by fabricating that the county governor Ha had undergone a physical examination during the driver's license renewal process, even though he did not actually receive the examination.
